No more missed Zygarde Cells! 5 big quality of life changes are coming to Pokémon GO. Zygarde Cells will be automatically awarded after Routes, perfect IV Pokémon get transfer warnings, and map improvements make gameplay easier than ever. October 8, 2026 Page Contents Scopely has announced a series of gameplay and quality-of-life updates that will be coming to Pokémon GO! They shared that they are intending to 'make your adventures as fun, intuitive, and accessible as possible', so let's see what will be changing. Zygarde Cells on Routes. Zygarde Cells discovered on a Route will now be received as a reward when you complete the Route. That means you don't need to collect them from the map, so no more making sure you remember to check for them! The probability of finding Zygarde Cells will stay the same, so you still may not find them on every Route. This is a great update, with a busy map it could sometimes be tricky to spot Zygarde Cells, and having to remember to collect them before you hit complete route often left you hanging around at the end of a route for a few minutes just in case you didn't spot them at first, or they spawned in super close to the end. Compass and Weather icons. The Compass and Weather icons have been combined into a single dynamic icon that adjusts based on your actions. The Compass icon displays while rotating or zooming your view, while the Weather icon displays at all other times. Tapping the Weather icon displays active weather conditions and boosts, and tapping the Compass icon, while visible, will toggle the viewing direction when you're on the map. This makes the game map a little bit less busy, and let's be honest, most people don't tap on these all that often, other than by accident! 100% Pokémon transfer warnings. Now this is a great quality-of-life update. You will now get a warning in-game when you attempt to transfer a 100% perfect IV Pokémon! You will now receive a confirmation prompt before transferring any Pokémon that has maxed-out stats. This warning also displays the exact count of | 100% Pokémon selected during bulk transfers. Map View display improvements. The Map View spacing has been enhanced to reduce overlap between wild Pokémon encounters, Gyms, Power Spots, and PokéStops, making it easier to tap on specific encounters. No more not being able to click on a spawn that is hiding under a Gym or PokéStop! As someone who once couldn't click on a Galarian Articuno encounter because it spawned it on a PokéStop, I appreciate this. Checking in to Community Ambassador meetups. Trainers can now check in to a meetup directly from the in-game map or a web browser, rather than having to use Campfire. * Open the in-game map from the Nearby menu * Find the purple Meetup pin on the map * Verify the event is listed as "Hosted by a Community Ambassador" * Tap Check In Check-in opens 15 minutes before the meetup is scheduled to start.

"The Witcher 3: remake" Launches today, with expansion and "The Witcher 4" to follow. 3DM2026-09-2816:35:23 The Witcher 3: Remastered will launch today (September 29), marking the beginning of new content for The Witcher series in the coming years. Future plans include a new expansion in 2027 and The Witcher 4, scheduled for release in 2028. The remastered version will feature technical and visual upgrades, along with adjustments to the skill system, an expanded photo mode, improved combat, and the addition of equipment transmogrification. Players who already own the original game will receive the remastered version for free. The new expansion, Tides of the Past, was originally slated for 2026 but has been delayed to 2027. The expansion will chronicle another chapter in Geralt's journey before he "passes the torch," taking players to Rietveld, the homeland of the bard Dandelion. In the new main quest, "Bed of Thorns," Geralt will also encounter Lyra; current descriptions suggest she may become Geralt's romantic interest. On the literary front, Andrzej Sapkowski, author of The Witcher novel series, recently announced at the Copernicon event in Toruń, Poland, that he plans to complete the next Geralt-focused novel by the end of 2027. The publication date for the book is still unclear, and the writing schedule may be subject to change. CDPR plans to release The Witcher 4 in 2028. Ciri will serve as the protagonist and playable character in the new title, with Geralt also making an appearance. CDPR has previously stated that, starting with the release of The Witcher 4, they aim to launch a new Witcher trilogy within six years. If this plan proceeds as scheduled, The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 would be released by the end of 2034; however, it remains uncertain whether this timeline can be achieved. Among other projects in the franchise, a multiplayer Witcher game is reportedly still in development but has not yet been officially showcased. CDPR is also collaborating with Scopely on a mobile game based on its IPs; it has not been confirmed whether this title belongs to The Witcher series or draws from the Cyberpunk universe.
